the guy at the store should know you, the man running the halal truck should know your order, your barista should know your name and you should know theirs, you should have a borderline flirtatious banter going with a bartender at your favorite dive bar

Called in an order for the local habibi owned pizza spot when I usually DoorDash it.
I always try to write a sweet note in the special requests field on the DD app. I’ve been doing it since COVID 2020 bc working service sucks most times.
A little poem, compliments about a dish, asking them a question (sometimes they answer), or just saying have a nice day, thank you for feeding my lazy ass.
Anyways
I asked for my chicken alfredo extra saucy and he goes “Hellena? Oh yeah I know your order. Do you like shrimp too?”
“Hell yeah, brother.”
20 minutes later I had extra saucy chicken and shrimp Alfredo, a half slab of garlic bread and not one but two drinks.
Love you, Moe and your pasta.

These aren’t for every table, i kinda litmus test the guests in my intro to see what kind of bits they can tolerate. I ~work~ for my tips.
We have a roll called the hoki poki, so anytime someone orders it i call and repeat “turn yourself around”, if the table gets a kick out of that, i’ll spin in a circle when i drop it off.
Anytime someone orders the crispy rice i say “yep defffffinitely been here before”
When i check the birthday guest‘s ID I say “wow it REALLY is your birthday”
When i serve a couple celebrating an anniversary, i’ll ask how many years and then be like, “congrats on the love and stuff,” (very buffy coded)
When a guest asks where a certain fish is from, before i tell them the real answer, ie alaskan salmon, i say “the ocean”

You’re usually at your lowest or highest when you get food here. They have to get a little vulnerable with you

this summer, we’re starting yoga, we’re learning a new language (being bilingual is now the standard, you need to know at least three to be truly chic), we’re going to concerts just because the tickets were cheap, we’re going to museums (especially the weird ones), hitting up the local library to ask for new recommendations, whether it’s a surprise or based on past tastes, we’re painting, collecting and collaging, sewing and embroidering our clothes, re-learning the harmonica, playing chess with strangers online and at the café, we’re taking up tennis and pretending it’s not just because of challengers. the only way to find what brings you joy is to try.

especially with roommates and they each invite all their different friends, everyone brings booze, no one worries about a bill, there’s always intrigue, always tension, so many people have slept with each other, so many people want to, and that’s the way a party should be
